- Start by rinsing the clams thoroughly under cold running water. Discard any broken or open clams.
- In a pot with a lid, pour in 300 ml of white wine and heat it until it simmers. Add the cleaned clams, cover the pot, and cook for a few minutes until the clams open. Remove the opened clams and let the liquid reduce to about half its volume.
- Strain the clam juice to remove any sand and set it aside.
- In a separate pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add a pinch of cayenne, chopped garlic, and chopped scallions. Sauté for about 15 minutes until fragrant and softened.
- Pour the reserved clam juice and 1 liter of tomato sauce into the pot, bringing everything to a boil.
- Stir in the clams and chopped parsley into the sauce, mixing well. Serve hot and enjoy with crusty bread to soak up the delightful sauce!
